Guest Speaker: Robbie Castleman
Friday September 5th | 5:30pm-8pm
Attention all parents of children and teens! Come for fellowship, dinner, and a parent’s workshop. The children will be busy with a pizza dinner, craft, game time, and more. Our youth are going to have dinner and activities too. Our guest speaker, Robbie Castleman , has a heart for partnering with parents to help equip them to "Daddy, I'd like you to meet my children." That's Robbie Castleman's attitude about bringing your children to church. She believes that Sunday morning isn't a success if she has only managed to keep the kids quiet. Children of all ages are at church for the same reason as their parents: for the privilege of worshiping God. Worship, Castleman writes, is "the most important thing you can ever train your child to do." So with infectious passion, nitty-gritty advice and a touch of humor, she shows you how to help your children (from toddlers to teenagers) enter into worship. Dr. Robbie Castleman is professor Emerita of New Testament & Biblical Studies at John Brown University. She is the author of several books including Story Shaped Worship and Parenting in the Pew. Robbie is returning to Tallahassee to share her in-depth knowledge and love with you all. This will be a treat! There is something for the whole family this evening. So please RSVP for the dinner head count. We are asking for $20 donation per family to help cover the cost if you are able. Please RSVP to Amy Stewart at astewart@stpetersfl.com today! Please share who is coming, the ages of children and youth, and if there are any food allergies.
Robbie Castleman with the youth | 5 Sept | 4:30pm | If you are in high school mark your calendars for Friday September 5th at 4:30! Professor Castleman's time with St. Peter's youth won't just help you engage the story arc of biblical worship, but you'll get better grades if you go to college because of some ideas presented at the seminar!
If you are interested in being a part of the Chorister program next year, please contact Debbie Garven, debgarven@gmail.com. Next year's season begins with a pre-season, half-day chorister boot camp from July 14-18. This puts everyone on the same level with some basic skills of leading in worship and singing as well as integrating new member's into the chorister community by engaging in relationship building activities. We can’t wait for camp!
We, as a group will carpool from St. Peter's at 7:30am and head over to Ichetucknee Springs and tube down their lazy river! Bring a bagged lunch and we will eat after the river before we jump into the springs! We'll end the trip by going to Jeremiahs Italian Ice for a sweet treat to end the hot summer day!
Like the hit Food Network show Chopped, St. Peter's Youth will be competing against each other in teams for the Golden Spatula. Each team will have an adult team member and they will have to make 3 courses of food for judges with random ingredients. Admission is 2 cans of canned food per person. We need help setting up and tearing down to make this event possible!
Why “Family Style”? Discipleship is not an individual event; God created us to journey and support each other in this life together. Family Style means families come to worship, pray, play, and fellowship together as a family and with other families. Our prayer is that this will be an opportunity to help families grow together in their faith and reconnect to God’s kingdom and each other. Our hope is that our families will leave empowered to continue growing their faith together at home.
What is Family Bible School? Very similar to a regular VBS! There will be singing and dancing, interactive Bible stories, crafts, water games, and more! Children will start with their parents at their picnic blanket on the lawn, but they won’t be sitting for long! Families will be grouped in tribes and will visit stations together. Stations will be inside and outside the church. Kids will still have opportunities to have fun with old friends and make new ones. Parents will have a chance to connect with their peers, too!
What is expected of parents, grandparents, and guardians? Have fun with your kids! You will help shepherd them to the different stations and help them participate in the activities and program. This is a great opportunity to share your faith and make memories with your children. This is not a drop-off event. Parents are participating for the entire time. We need at least one parent (grandparent or guardian) per family to stay. You are welcome to bring friends! You will be responsible for the children you bring. You will not be alone! There will be volunteers assigned to help and support families as they navigate the different activities and program.
What about my baby or toddlers? Bring them! Nursery is open for the littlest ones, or they are welcome to stay with your family too!
What about my teens? Teens may participate with your family, or serve in one of the many volunteer positions needed to make FBS a great success!
If I volunteer, can I have dinner? Yes! Dinner reservations are a part of the volunteer sign up. We want volunteers to come fellowship with dinner and worship with the families!
We prefer to have dinner at home. No problem! If you would prefer not to partake of the parish dinners, you may certainly eat ahead of time and join us at 5:30 FBS programming, or pack your own picnic and eat with the other families at 5:00pm.
Join us right here in the parking lot at St. Peter's as we partner with Sleep in Heavenly Peace to build 15 bunk beds for local children in need. Sleep in Heavenly Peace believes that a bed is a basic need for the proper physical, emotional, and mental support that a child needs and that all children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. Join in this special time of creating beds for deserving children, as well as the opportunity to help deliver and set up. What an amazing opportunity to share God's love! For questions, or more information, please contact Under-Resourced Core Captain, Freddy Branham.
What better way to kick off the summer riding season than to have Fr. Herb bless all the riders along with their motorcycles, by saying a prayer for their safety, April 12th from 11-1. The blessing is open to all. If you have friends that have motorcycles, please extend to them an invitation to come and have their bikes blessed. Parents, please bring your children’s bicycles, tricycles, big wheels, and whatever they ride. The blessing will take place immediately following Midday prayer.
Come and join us as we watch a fun movie as a perish! Bring lawn chairs, blankets, and maybe a warm drink. This is a very family friendly event so please bring your family and friends!
Movie is TBD
